"Her death came in the virus surge that gripped the country all summer, as the Delta variant hurtled through the South, Pacific Northwest and parts of the Midwest. Close to 100,000 people across the United States have died of Covid-19 since mid-June, months after vaccines were available to American adults."

I don’t believe it. I reckon US Covid stats are so juiced as to be pure fiction. Let’s compare US to Indonesia….ballpark sized populations 330M vs 280M.

US vaccination rate - first dose 214M, fully vaccinated 185M. Total Covid deaths 700K.

Indo vaccination rate - first dose -91M first, fully vaccinated 51M . Total Covid deaths 142K.

US has 100K Covid deaths in 5 months of summer…..pfffft.

The US is home to the politicisation of the virus. The US rivals China for Covid lies. China - 1042M population- has had 5 Covid deaths in 4 months. 4600 deaths since it began….

Lies, lies,lies.

Yes. I think they exaggerate and lie.

Straight up.

Goofy- Indo isn’t the outlier. The US is the outlier. Despite the lack of free health care, the US is still the richest and most developed nation in the world. No one is claiming that people in the US are dying from neglect whilst they’ve got Covid. How can it be that the US has the highest number of Covid deaths in the world? Almost twice more than second place India, which has almost 5 times as many people.

It’s pure politicised lies.

The US shares a border with Canada. Canada is another comparatively developed and prosperous nation, yet the US has a fatality rate of 2156 deaths per million population whilst Canada’s is 732 per million.

Cough cough bullshit cough

Who’s manufacturing and hiding dead bodies? The death certificates are shonky. Even here in Australia we are counting people who are literally in palliative care as Covid deaths, can you imagine the book cooking going down in the US where hospitals are literally paid per Covid death?

Anyway….you think I’m full of shit right? What’s your alternative explanation? I’m sure BB will cock on about Trump or Right wing anti vaccinators or some other such dribble he’s been fed. But you’re a shed load smarter than BB, Freeride so what is your suggestion?

Indonesians are often malnourished, chain smokers who either live in unhealthy rural poverty doing unsafe toxic work or unhealthy urban poverty breathing heavily polluted air. The worst medical treatment in the US would be standard in Indo. The Indonesians are fully vaccinated at 18%of the population, US vaccinated at 56 % of population.

Covid running riot through an obese, unvaccinated population cohort.

That seems (to me), given the weight of evidence, more likely than a 100000 shonky death certificates.

Let alone 700000 shonky death certificates.

I guess it comes down to if deaths in america are higher this year with covid, than what they were pre covid, in a non covid year... and by how much?

142000 dead Indonesians still sounds like a lot.

Much younger demographic than America and less obese.

Age and obesity being the 2 main risk factors.

Also probably lots, and lots of older Indos who died in villages and never even went near a hospital.

Also Indo is an island archipelago.

Islands with restricted movement are the best forms of defence.

Not sure how many Indos have been travelling inter-island?
Or even between villages?

Do you know Syppo, or Indo?

Remember at the start I thought it was a nothing-burger.

Canada is a much more sparsely populated country, less obese I believe, and with much higher rates of vaccination.
That would easily account for a much lower death rate.

less than normal... but still shitloads...

'mudik', the ramadan festival where everyone returns to their villages was 'cancelled' to curb a corona outbreak. no travel for two weeks around the holiday... most people just left earlier than the travel restriction and came back later. even in the restricted timeframe, the indo news was full of traffic jams and motorbikes shoulder to shoulder as everyone was trying to get to 'jalan tikus' (small roads) to avoid roadblocks...

much like the indian religious festival, the timing showed this to be almost certainly the seeding event of the big wave

heaps of travel has been restricted, loads of times... but then I know of busloads of people still going regardless...

appreciate there is likely some miscounting.

But can we account for hundreds of thousands of deaths in that way?

Re. the TGA self reporting system.
"After a report has been entered into the AEMS (14 days) or IRIS database (3 months), information is transferred to the publicly accessible and searchable Database of Adverse Event Notifications. This time lag enables TGA staff to check and analyse the information in the report."
https://www.tga.gov.au/reporting-adverse-events

So checks are done on each individual report after all. Also...

"All adverse events are risk assessed and entered into the appropriate database for future reference. The information is used by TGA staff to help identify safety signals. A safety signal is a 'flag' for a possible safety concern. When the TGA identifies a signal, it undertakes a detailed evaluation to establish the possible role of the therapeutic good in causing the adverse event."

So that's 60,000 adverse effects reported and followed up on by the TGA. 544 deaths 'possibly' linked to the adverse events. I wonder how many it takes for a detailed evaluation.

That explanation seems extraordinarily unlikely now.

I’ll repeat what I’ve said for well over a year. I think Covid is real. I believe Covid can be very serious to anyone but it is a virus which, to a very large degree, is primarily a serious threat to aged and vulnerable people. I believe that the virus has been overblown as a threat to society as a whole. I believe the narrative of the virus has been weaponised for political and financial advantage.

I believe there are health threats posed to Australians which are of many magnitudes more serious than Covid and which garnish an entirely disproportionate response to that generated by Covid.

I don’t think anyone particularly wants to get Covid but for the vast majority of people it is just another illness.

For all males my age (40-49) in Australia there has been 7000 cases and 13 deaths. This means that for all males my age - obese , diabetic, immunocompromised , bald, ugly, short, round, smoker , lazy etc - there is a 99.8% survival rate. That is incontrovertible fact.

Does that statistic compare with the sky-is-falling storyline than the usual panic mongers are trying to present? No. Nothing even remotely similar. But the fear mongers will use any lies, emotive pleas, guilt, shaming , insults and threats to get me to pretend that statistic isn’t factually correct.

That’s already the sign of a mentally unhealthy society when these Henny Pennys are not just pandered to , but amplified. It’s when these bed wetters are given encouragement to unleash their closet Nazi and try to censor and demand silence from any opposing opinions that it gets really bad really quickly.

BTW Freeride. I don’t dispute that people in the US have died from Covid. I believe that perhaps many people have died. What I don’t believe is that it’s possible the US has twice as many deaths as the next worst country.

Despite the “red necked, good ol’ boy unvaccinated Trumpists are to blame “ narrative the peanuts are pushing, there is no valid reason why the US should have not just the most , but a massively outsized majority of global Covid deaths.

United Stated - population 330 million, Covid deaths 700,000
China -population 1040 million, Covid deaths 4636.

Yeah…sure.
